As bad as it might be to destroy a creature made in God's image, it might be very much worse to be creating them after images of one's own.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.
God created man in His own image, says the Bible; philosophers reverse the process: they create God in theirs.
It is terrible to destroy a person's picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction.
Men create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life.
It's good to make your own things because you can have control of your own art.
I don't want to spoil the magic, but it's a very curious thing that honestly baffles me. It's the nearest we'll ever get to playing God, to suddenly produce these fully formed creatures. It is a bit odd. Other aspects you work out more - you rework sentences, you rework imagery. But not characters.
My main point here is that if you are the child of God and God is a part of you, the in your imagination God suppose to look like you. And when you accept a picture of the deity assigned to you by another people, you become the spiritual prisoners of that other people.
I made some good pictures, and I made some bad ones. I wasn't trying to build an image, though; I was trying to build a life for myself.
Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.
Cloning is great. If God made the original, then making copies should be fine.
